OPENSEA (2) blitzed the Maidens by 4.5L on the synthetic and then came here and wound up strongly in the closing stages when narrowly beaten. Keeps the leading hoop and is well placed to bounce back. TIZSA NICE DROP (11) finished just ahead of the above and she'd also come off a dominant Maiden win on the synthetic. Draws inside and is a threat. EAGLEFURTHER (13) has switched from a Victorian yard and is better suited at this level. Has a handy barrier and 2kg claim and is capable of making the finish. TWICE THE ICE (12) brings decent synthetic form and keeps a 2kg claim. Drop back to a mile and is in the mix.
